best measure that could be passed. 1t was
passed, and Governor Hill vetoes it. A dem
agogue can find reasons for any act. Governor
Hills reasons for his veto are far more dis
credtable than the veto itself. They show
that the veto was a foregone conclusion, and
the reasons an after thought. As schem-
ing Democrat Of the New York school, Gov
ernor Hill has succeeded in having himself
talked about as a possible Presidential
quantity. His veto message shows him to be
simply mischievous demagogue of the Carter
Harrison type. As bidder for the support
of the liquor element and the criminal classes
in New York and Brooklyn, he out-does his
Chicago rival by as much as their joint
populations exceed that of the city on the
lake. It may be well enough to emphasize
this sentence of the veto message:
While the question of temperance is not
party question, and cannot we'll be made such,
yet it is impossible to ignore the political
aspects OF the measure, especially where it
was we'll known that its support was made the
subject of consideration at a party caucus of
the majority of the Legislature, and where it
has been ingeniouslv devised and peculiarly
ned so as to operate solely upon the two
great Democratic constituencies of the State,
while Republican cities and constituencies
are exempted from its burden"
This is equivalent to confession that the
strength of the Democratic party in New
York and Brooklyn lies in the saloon element,
h.t L
fere with 'the two great Democratic constitu-
encies of the State" 1t is the bid of au am
bilious demagogue for the support of the dan
gerous class in his aspirations to the presi-
dency. His anxiety for their support led him
to tell the truth about his party.

THE minority report, not the majority re-
port on the street-railway-t tunnel grab was
adopted by the Council "without much dis
custom" WhyG Why was the mino rity re-
port selected for adoption, unless the men
who voted for it understood its scope aud eff
ect thoroughly, and voted for it because they
were absolutely owned by the street railway
company, in whose interest the report was
prepared The adoption of the minority, re-
port without much discussion is s,,s-
picious fact in itself. Under general Giro UNI
stances it would be the majority report th ut
would be adopted without discussion. That the
majority report was passed over, the opinion o f
the city attorney ignored, and the minority
report adopted, indicates that the councilmen
knew and understood the force of the report.

A few days ago the indianapolis Journal came
to hand greatly enlarged in the length Of its
columns, and printed from rew Hoe perfect
ing press-a machine to sec which in operation
one would think was "a thing OF life" We
have SO often referred to the merits OF the Jour-
nal and have frequently stated to our readers
that under its present management 1t could not
be i'm proved upon. but this its managers have
really done however. While the journal favor
ABLY compared with any of the leading news
papers of the country, it is now the superior of
most of them. 1t is beautifully made up hand
somely printed alive with news, and each num-
Der contains such vast fund of information
that there is need of looking any further
for daily newspaper. AS an organ of the
Republican party of the State it should
receive the hearty support of every Repub
in Indiana. 1t occupies position in the party
that no other journal even attempts to fill, while
in every department it is now the peer of the
best daily paper published in America. We are
pleased to see this evidence of thrift on the part
of the chief organ of the Republican party in In
diana. IL Is indicative of the great victory OF
the party IN 1883, and we urge upon every read
er OF this paper 10 become subscriber either to
the weekly or daily edition. The Journal has
earned such recognition by its merits as an ad-
vocate of the best interests Of the people of the
State for many years and by its unfiinching Re-
publicanism and its merits as an enterprislng
newspaper Supplied with his home newspaper
ard ; copy of tho daily weekly journal, the
citizen of Indiana would be we'll provided with
literature and the political news or the State

DIR. M'GLYNN,

Dr. McGlynn had number of his prominent
Catholic priests about him and with him when
he delivered his opening lecture upon the
New Crusade" in New York city. In Gin
cinnati not prominent Catholic was present
The contrast is significant. The Catholic
Church is a church of strict authority and of
implicit obedience. DR.. McGlynn was under
ecclesiastical condemnation when he appeared
in New York Some of his prominent friends
and admirers concluded to brave the church
authorities by appearing to sustain him in his
contumacy. They did so, and the result was
that they fell under discipline. The Catho-
lies in Cincinnati cared more for their church
than for fantastic theory, and so re-
manned away from DR.. McGlynns meeting
DIR. McGynn would commend himself to the
general public more favorably in his new cru
SADIE if he would manfully take himself out
of the church, and not attempt to make it
appear that he is martyr to the
faith. If the Doctor prefers to take
the platform in advocacy of Henry Georges
spoliation theory than to continue priest Of
the Catholic Church, and subject himself to
the authority and discipline that all other
priests respect, there is but one honorable
thing to do, and that is to relinquish his or
dination VOWS and voluntarily step outside the
church. His present attitude is equivocal,
and cannot add to the respect with which he
will be regarded. The general public have
no sympathy with any sort Of recalcitrant
who has not the courage of his convictions
They do not sympathize with a Methodist or
a Presbyterian, or a Catholic, or a Mason,
or member of any other church or fraternity,
who does not heroically step outs ide of them
if he thinks their beliefs or discipline incom-
patible with his individual freedom of con-
science and action, however much they may
condemn the narrowness or intolerance that
conpels such STEP

GOVERNOR HILL is evidently one of those
men who never goes back on his friends. Be-
fore he vetoed the Crosby high-license bill he
had doubtless read the circular of the New
York Beer and Liquorsellers' Protective
Union, which says: eve have one friend left,
and this is Governor D. B. Hill, of our State.
We must show him that if he is our friend
we will carry the banner with him next cleo

the union, the Governor may now feel sure of
the New York delegation in the next national
convention. Without the whisky element a

IT is the duty of the street commissioner to
see that the streets are cleaned. He does see
to it as often as once a year. On nearly
every thoroughfare in the city the presence of
the contractor and his men is noticed once in
twelve month; the accumulated filth is
scraped into heaps, which, if not forgotten
until after they have been trampled down
again, are carted away. This makes the
atmosphere in those localities comparatively
pure for as much as two weeks. For the rest
of the year the accumulations are scattered
through the air IN the form of dust, to the
injury of the health and comfort of man and
